I’m new to your channel and clearly not ready because You lost me everywhere 😢!
However, I’m sure I’m not the only one that needs you to slow down and explain your neat tricks.

Very useful to learn the W Wing towards the end of the video. I spotted the 89 pair in block 1 and there were a couple of hidden singles that I found and I was able to solve the puzzle after an extended time. Thanks for posting this video!

@3:49 Another Snider 8 in block 3. Note that you cannot put an 8 in row 1 for block 1, nor can you put an 8 in row 1 for block 2. But you must have an 8 somewhere in row 1. Therefore Snider 8 in row 1 block 3.

Wow, solving a Sudoku changed your life?! I do enjoy learning your techniques.

[billdaniel]

That was complicated, I could never have solved it without your help.

Congrats on the growth of the channel. Wasn’t too long ago you only had 1k subs. We’ll done.

For me, the solution to the puzzle came with the 89 pair in column 2, which forces that 789 triple in the south-east area of block 4, and a 4 in r3c3. Note at that stage that the 1s are now restricted to the left side of block 4, and hence, the rofght side of block 7 is confirmed to be a 125 triple, and you can solve for 3 in r9c1 and r4c2, and hence 6 in r4c3 and r7c2, and 4 in r9c2. This info was enough for me to finish promptly without any strategy other than basic sudoku. Fun puzzle

76 minutes 😅 I was stuck looking for a chain but was able to solve it using the unique rectangle technique.

[sharmilisharmili]

I filled the same candidates notation free till 12 mins of ur video time .Then i got stuck, sneaked into ur description for the strategies demonstrated, solved it further using wxyz wing on my own, also found the x wing on 1's ( although u hv not mentioned abt the x wing in strategies demonstrated), just missed the last strategy which was w - wing for 29 pair .

Wonderful puzzle indeed!

[jvlm]

GREAT commentary and logic! Earned a subscription, Very informative and entertaining Thanks

[repalasatynarayana]

2:01 in first square 498 is not possible, so that 498 can be filled y verifying other columns and ris. So that other three can be filled with remains nos.

[Ramakrishnagm]

Solved . I just wanted to confirm is my WXYZ wing is different.., no way the same. After searched any other WXYZ wing or other strategy, didn't get it. Puzzle not let to get any other strategy to solve.
I find the same WXYZ enough to solve puzzle, X and W wings followed your way.
Very good puzzle, hard puzzle, only thing I'm notable to get alternate way.
Thanks for the puzzle and good explanation.

[kingkongsimba]

Sudoku is fun. But, altogether, Sudoku did not change my life.

[bizopca]

Don't see how the 1 was eliminated at 14:06 from R3C7. What am I missing? Thanks.

[rabidsamfan]

The mistake in column seven really made the first technique harder to understand.

[EiTheAung]

I am8 years old but i do it i do hard❤😊

[desertgoldfish]

Can you explain @18:11 ? Why is that not a 9?

[rayandvincettanicosia]

At the 11:50 mark you assigned 27 to R6C7, but shouldn't that have been a 23? There was already a 7 in C7.

[lilliansmith]

I would not call these tricks. They are hard work.
